Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

In the event that you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be
able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award.
While Capella University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations
on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in
a Yellow Ribbon program. The calculator can help you sort out your eligibility.

Capella University awarded a total of $12,978
in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year.
